I have a question for any of you that have Californians. I purchased two does, mother and daughter a year ago, have had several good litters out of both and have given them to my grandaughter for her 4H project. She just got grand and reserve champion at our county fair with her market pens...

I know some here raved about how easy Kintraks is, but I'm having a devil of a time. How do you get the program to enter correct dates for kindling/weaning? When I enter a mating, it puts that date in all colums. Yes, I can change it, but isn't it supposed to be a reminder when to put the...

I'm having repeating cases of what I believe is "nest box eye". Kits can't open one or both eyes due to some sticky gunk. It's very little stuff, but seems to seal the eye. I've been washing it off with a warm washcloth, and using some Vetricin eye ointment. They do get over it, and I've...

Would someone educate me as to "Bunny Bucks" are? I see them accumulating, but I'm not sure why! Judith

Yesterday I finally butchered 5 buns - was a bit late, and they were pretty fat, but I did it in about an hour and a half and have them in the freezer for the dogs. I figured that the first time I wouldn't worry too much about it being an antiseptic operation, getting the site fixed to work...

Of all days to kindle, Pepper had her second litter on Thursday am - -9 degrees outside. They are in an enclosed barn, with hay and the box of course, but it was just tooo cold. I thought of just bringing the box inside and taking it out to her twice a day, as so many of you have suggested...

I don't post too often, but lurk every day. My original trio of Californians are great, one litter growing well, and one missed breeding. Recently I found a source of Silver Foxes fairly close to me. Picked up a pair yesterday - Oh, my they are beautiful!! Unfortunately, they haven't been...

My new doe, Peppermint, finally had her babies - 34 days from first breeding. I haven't looked yet - it's still pretty chilly out there, but she made a good nest, lots of fluff and all covered up. The gal I bought her from said she bred her on three consecutive days - I'm thinking she didn't...

I finally picked up my new rabbits - Californians, from good stock. I have a mother-daughter pair, and an unrelated buck. They come from a 4H family who have won championships and reserve championships at local and state fairs here in CO. The older doe, Peppermint is the dam of several...

I'm just getting restarted in meat rabbits after many years, and need to know where to get (or do I make my own) record forms. Not pedigrees, but barn records on production for the year. I know some feed companies have some, but I haven't found just what I want. Do any of you have any...
